And yet we spend $5.3 billion for a train to nowhere. We worry about Steven Tyler's privacy. We want to build more hotels on the sand. 29 new Kaka'ako condos get permitted without infrastructure upgrades.

Where are our priorities? Dead animals and fecal matter infect our waters because of a little rain? Overflowing cesspools - is that the best we can do? And why do we still pump our poo in to the ocean?

We live where people react not act prior. Roadways- fix the pot hole after not before. Traffic problem- try and fix after the fact not foresee the future. Water pollution- act after someone dies, not before we over pollute and control worst case scenario. Then when there is blame everyone points fingers. As for condos, put them in he Ala Wai.
